IUI Treatment Cost in India

What is IUI (Intra Uterine Insemination) ?

Intrauterine insemination (IUI), also known as artificial insemination, donor insemination, or alternative insemination is a commonly performed assisted reproductive treatment in which the semen of the male partner is directly transferred in the uterus of the female partner.

At the beginning of the treatment, the IUI specialist prescribes the best medications and lifestyle habits to prepare your body for IUI treatment.

The fertility doctor will diagnose the female’s health for any abnormalities associated with ovulation. The fertility doctor may recommend medication to amplify the production of the eggs. The fertility specialist shall then trace her monthly cycle to determine the best time to begin the IUI treatment. Once a ripe egg is present, the patient is given a “trigger shot” that causes ovulation within 36 hours.

Once this is done, the fertility specialist shall prepare the sperm. Once the female ovulates and the sperm is washed out of all impurities and dirt, the fertility doctor uses a thin, flexible catheter to implant the sperm into the female partner’s uterus.

Medicines for ovulation stimulation – IUI treatment begins with medications to trigger ovulation. The cost of oral medicines that are most commonly prescribed at the beginning of IUI treatment costs around INR 5,000 to INR 6,000.
